The Schinzel–Zassenhaus conjecture on houses of algebraic integers
The Schinzel–Zassenhaus conjecture on houses of algebraic integers
Let be an algebraic integer of degree , with conjugates . Its house is . An algebraic integer is a root of unity exactly when its house is . Schinzel–Zassenhaus conjecture. There is a constant such that, if is not a root of unity, then
This conjecture asks for a uniform lower bound on how close the house of a noncyclotomic algebraic integer can be to . The source attributes it to Schinzel and Zassenhaus; no resolution is given here.
